John Antrim, 26, of Centerville, and William Sanford, 25, of Dennis, were arrested Tuesday for heroin trafficking.

CENTERVILLE - Police from Barnstable and Yarmouth teamed to investigate two men suspected of heroin distribution, leading to arrests on Tuesday, Jan. 21. John Antrim, 26, of Centerville, and William Sanford, 25, of Dennis, are being held without bail pending their arraignment in Barnstable District Court.

Police say they observed the two men selling heroin in the driveway of Antrim's home on Knotty Pine Lane while conducting surveillance in preparation for serving a search warrant on the property. After witnessing five such deals, police say, they arrested Sanford, and pursued Antrim as he fled through the house and out the back door, eventually arresting him as well.

During the search of the two men and the house, police say, they found substantial amounts of heroin, and approximately $7,000 in cash. Antrim and Sanford are both charged with heroin trafficking and conspiracy to violate drug law.
